1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Salesforce and Asana Integration

To begin the integration process between Salesforce and Asana, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and either sign in or create a new account. If you are new, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to set up your account quickly.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Salesforce Leads to Asana Tasks’, and click on ‘Create’. This will set up a blank workflow where you can define the trigger and action needed for the integration.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Salesforce in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger in Pabbly Connect to detect new leads in Salesforce. Select Salesforce as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Lead’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new lead is added to your Salesforce account.

• Open Salesforce in a separate tab to facilitate the connection.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.
• Allow access to your Salesforce account to establish the connection.

Once connected, you will need to provide your Salesforce instance URL. This can be found in Salesforce under Setup > Company Profile > Company Information. Copy the instance URL and paste it into the appropriate field in Pabbly Connect before saving and sending a test request.

3. Creating a New Lead in Salesforce

With the trigger set, the next step involves creating a new lead in Salesforce. This lead will be used to test the integration with Pabbly Connect. Go back to Salesforce, navigate to the Leads section, and click on ‘New’. Fill out the required fields such as Salutation, Name, Company, and Title.

• Enter a descriptive title for the lead, as this will be used as the task name in Asana.
• Provide necessary contact information, including email and phone number.
• Add a description to clarify the task to be created in Asana.

After entering all the details, click ‘Save’. This action will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect, allowing you to verify if the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create Tasks in Asana

Now that the trigger is established, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to create a new task in Asana. Select Asana as your action application and choose the event ‘Create Task’. Connect to your Asana account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and granting the necessary permissions.

Once connected, you will need to select the correct workspace and project ID where the task will be created. Make sure to choose the project that corresponds to your Salesforce leads. You will then map the task name to the title of the lead created in Salesforce.

Map the description field to include relevant details about the lead. Use the mapping feature to ensure each new lead creates a uniquely titled task. Leave other fields empty as necessary, such as due date and assignee.

After mapping the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the task is created successfully in Asana.

5. Verifying the Integration and Task Creation

Once you have completed the setup in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to verify that the integration works as intended. Check the response from the action step to ensure no errors occurred during the task creation process. If successful, you will see the task created in Asana.

Navigate to your Asana workspace and check the project where the tasks are being created. You should see a new task titled as per the lead details you entered in Salesforce. The task should also contain the description and other mapped details.

To conclude, the integration between Salesforce and Asana using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless task management based on new leads. This automation significantly enhances productivity by eliminating manual entry and ensuring all leads are tracked effectively.
